Libertie - the character and the story by Kaitlyn Greenidge - are not what I expect. The book description speaks of a coming of age a story, a journey of self-discovery, and a journey of what it means to be a black woman in the 1860s. It is an interesting view on the history, but a negative tone that runs throughout the book makes it challenging to invest in Libertie as a character or to cheer for her happy ending.
